Instead of roses, will the lucky young ladies get pucks? The Bachelor Canada - an all-Canadian version of The Bachelor - will debut on Citytv this fall.

The announcement was made early Monday on Citytv’s Breakfast Television by guest Chris Harrison, host of the U.S. version of The Bachelor.

“It’s about time,” Harrison said. “And the good news is, it won’t take our show (the U.S. version) away. It’s a double-dose, it’s all good, it’s a win-win for Canada. Our show will still be on in the winter, but The Bachelor Canada will be on this fall.”

Details on who will be hosting The Bachelor Canada, as well as who the first bachelor will be, are still to come. But casting for the first group of competing Canadian bachelorettes begins immediately, with details available at Citytv.com/BachelorCanada.

Even though Canadians have been allowed on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette in the past, The Bachelor Canada will be seeking an all-Canadian cast.

The first season will consist of nine episodes. Lately Citytv has been taking the branch-plant route for reality competition to count as its Canadian programming.

In that vein, Canada’s Got Talent, with Martin Short as one of the judges, debuts this March.
